Commando, Dutch, Spark, Kodiak, Clyde, Champ, Rodney, Five, Driver, Nomex, Junior, Chena, Felix, Violet and Allen are on the trail to Whitehorse!! GO TEAM! BRING IT HOME! More soon when I get better internet.

Allen just left Carmacks with 14 team mates after resting six hours. He is pumped to get back on the trail and to “get this thing done”. This break turned out to be longer than the previous run time which is fairly unheard of at this stage of the race. … Read More

Check out the Stepping Stone Facebook page for some fantastic pics of the team arriving and settling in for a rest in the sun. Where they … Read More
